Chapter 883
And he had the nerve to say her mind was dark?
Anastasia scoffed. Since he was being shameless, she wouldn’t be polite either-
“That Ms. Lawson is the other woman, of course! Does growing up together give them a free pass to be so familiar? It might be one thing if they were both single, but he’s married. What does it look like for him to do something so intimate with Ms. Lawson? Do you not care about your own daughter’s reputation at all p>
The phrase “the other woman” shocked the surrounding guests. No one expected her to be so blunt!
Morgan’s face turned a shade of green.
This was his daughter’s birthday party! Anastasia’s attitude showed a complete disregard for the Lawson family!
He said in a low voice, “Harrison! Aren’t you going to control the person by your side p>
Harrison remained unmoved. “Ana has a point. Your suggestion, Mr. Lawson, was indeed inappropriate p>
Naomi looked hurt and embarrassed. “Harrison, you know my father didn’t mean anything by it. If you didn’t want to, you could have just said no. Why did you have to let this… Ms. Sterling, say such ugly things p>
Anastasia wanted to roll her eyes.
Morgan didn’t mean anything by it? Did he take everyone for a fool?
And this Ms. Lawson was quite good at playing dumb!
If it had

soft spot for Naomi and felt sorry for
y might have let them
slide to save her some face.
But Harrison, firstly, had no romantic feelings for Naomi, and secondly, he had come
here today precisely to make his position clear.
So he said coolly, “Regardless of Mr. Lawson’s intentions, Ana was not wrong. I am a married man with a wife. I should not, under any circumstances agree to a proposal that could so easily be
misunderstood p>
“Furthermore, Ana was merely stating an objective fact p>
He was displeased that Naomi had called Anastasia’s words ugly.
Feeling his undisguised protectiveness of Anastasia, Naomi’s heart clenched once
more.
“I’m a little thirsty. Let’s go get something to drink, shall we?” Anastasia tugged on Harrison’s arm, growing impatient.
Harrison turned to her, his
expression immediately softening.
With a polite but distant, “Excuse us p>
to the!
Lawsons he let the gir beside
him lead him away. fo
He left the others standing there in awkward silence.
The people who had been fawning over Naomi just moments before were now completely quiet.
Harrison’s stance was crystal clear. He had no eyes for Naomi; on the contrary, he was incredibly indulgent and caring toward his Ana.
As for the idea that she would soon have to make way for Naomi… no one had the nerve to say that now.
